Chapter 156: Chapter 156: A Broad Heart and a Plump Body

Speaking of her postpartum confinement, Susu just felt scared, she just had to think about it and her whole body would itch uncontrollably.

Those one and a half months of confinement were so intense that, for the next couple of years, she’d feel nauseous at the sight of chicken soup and pig trotter soup.

Not for anything else, but because during confinement she pretty much alternated between chicken soup and pig trotter soup every day, and she was forced to drink it all.

Mrs. Lu also sighed, time really flies, in the blink of an eye the triplets could run and jump already, and the old man had retired.

Father Lu secretly loosened the belt of his trousers, as he had accidentally eaten too much that evening.

"You old man, you’ve loosened your belt and you’re still eating. Look at that big belly of yours, take a walk after dinner before you sleep."

Mrs. Lu sharp-eyedly caught her husband’s little action and rolled her eyes in annoyance.

Father Lu, "..."

"Grandma and grandpa, Pingping also has a little belly."

The little guy stuck out his high belly, which was bulging noticeably.

"An’an has one too," mimicking big brother, An’an lifted up his shirt to show his round belly.

"And Lele too, Lele has a little belly," the little girl copied them.

The three siblings’ bellies were all round and quite large.

Susu couldn’t help but laugh and cry as she pulled down little girl’s shirt, "Lele, we are girls, don’t copy big brother lifting up the shirt."

"Why?"

"Because brother is a boy."

"Why is brother a boy?"

Mother Susu actually found herself at a loss for words.

"Why, mom?"

"Why, mom?"

...

The triplets turned into a "why?" machine, making their mother’s head spin.

"All right, all right, go play in the yard with your brothers and sisters after dinner."

Finally, she managed to divert the kids outside, and Susu breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hehe..."

Hearing the man’s light laughter, Susu unamusedly hit the man with a stick.

"Laugh, laugh, laugh, you just know how to laugh, but you don’t help."

Lu Xiaoting covered his chest where she had hit, "Wife, am I not allowed to laugh?"

"Not allowed, not allowed at all."

Susu was fuming with anger, intending to fiercely smack this stinky man a few times.

Unexpectedly, she wasn’t prepared when the man tackled her onto the kang.

"Um~I didn’t see anything, saw nothing, continue Uncle and Aunty."

Xiao Xue, who had run in to grab some toys, covered his eyes with both hands and ran out after saying this.

Susu, "..."

Lu Xiaoting, "..."

The couple on the kang looked at each other, frozen for a moment.

Susu annoyedly kicked the man, "It’s all your fault, all your fault, the child saw us."

"It’s okay, okay, it’s all my fault, don’t be mad," Lu Xiaoting coaxed his angry wife back up from the kang.

...

"Woof, woof, woof."

Susu was woken up by Da Hei’s barking, since the house was filled with women and children, Father Lu had brought Da Hei over in a basket two days ago.

Susu, with her messy hair from the night, got off the kang to wash up and saw the three little ones chasing after Da Hei, shouting non-stop.

"Da Hei, come here."

Hearing his mistress’s voice, Da Hei happily wagged his tail and scampered over.

"Hehe, mom, you woke up."

The triplets seeing their mom, all ran over smiling.

An’an, with his chubby fingers pointing to the sky, said giggling, "Mommy is lazy, the sun has been warming your butt for a long time and you still didn’t wake up."

Susu patted her son on the bottom, "Little rascal."

"Don’t bully Da Hei, or I’ll spank you," Susu waved her hand to scare the triplets.

"Ha ha ha..."

The triplets, giggling, ran out, no longer chasing the dog, but instead started chasing each other.

Yangcheng

Jiang Nan’s boxed lunch business had grown from an initial 30 servings to sixty.

Every day, she would get up early to go to the market to buy vegetables, and after purchasing, she wouldn’t dare delay, immediately returning to wash, prepare, and cook the vegetables.

Luckily, the main food was simple, as she didn’t need to make noodles; otherwise, she alone would struggle to steam Mantou or Wo Wo Tou.

Generally, she only sold during lunchtime when workers couldn’t go home and wanted to rest a bit more after eating.

In the evening, most households wouldn’t spend money to eat out and would just whip up something simple at home.

At noon, the couple would sell boxed lunches together, with Brother Lu helping to collect and give out change, while Jiang Nan took charge of distributing the boxed lunches to the workers.

Over time, Jiang Nan’s cooking skills had greatly improved.

To keep her man eating well, she changed up the dishes every day, managing not to repeat any dish throughout the week.

"Old Lu, your wife’s cooking is really good."

"Yeah, ever since your wife started selling boxed lunches, we don’t have to eat cold rice at noon anymore."

"And we don’t have to eat that restaurant’s gritty rice, it used to be unavoidable, but now it’s better."

Hearing everyone’s praises, the couple smiled at each other, feeling a sense of achievement.

"Huai Ze, eat more meat," Jiang Nan offered some meat from her bowl to her husband.

"No need, honey, you’ve worked hard, eat more yourself."

"Wow!"

Early in the morning, just when Susu was deep in sleep, a cry from the little girl woke her up.

"What happened?"

Mrs. Lu held the little granddaughter, followed by two worried-looking little boys.

"The three little ones were chasing chickens and teasing the dog together, and Lele didn’t watch out and stepped on chicken poop, then fell."

"Mama, hug."

The little girl pouted, tears rolling down her cheeks.

"Lele’s hand hurts, Mama blow on it."

Seeing this, Susu understood why the little girl was in pain, her hand was scraped.

While blowing on the injury, she asked, "Where else does it hurt, Lele? Mama will blow on it too."

The little girl pointed to her bottom with her chubby little hand, "Mama, my bottom hurts too."

Susu held back a laugh, it seemed the girl had quite the fall on her bottom. She carefully examined her daughter’s pants, thankfully there was nothing serious.

It probably hurt when she fell, fortunately, the skin wasn’t broken; otherwise, it would have been very uncomfortable in the summer heat, unable to sit.

Susu tapped her two sons on the head, "You two as well, chasing chickens and teasing dogs as soon as you get up, be careful not to get hurt. Look, your sister is crying from the pain."

Pingping frowned, "Mama, is sister okay?"

"Sister is too clumsy, Brother and I dodged the chicken poop," An’an shook his head.

The little girl, naturally unhappy about being called clumsy by her brother, angrily turned her head, "Brother is mean."

Pingping, "Little Third, don’t bully your sister."

An’an pouted, and with a sigh that belied his young age, said, "Ah..."

This amused the adults immensely, the little one really acted like an old man.

"Xiaoxiao, you take good care during your confinement, we’re heading back now."

"Ah, be careful on the road, Second Sister-in-law."

"Take care on the road, mother-in-law and Xiaoxiao’s Second Sister-in-law."

Susu and her mother-in-law left from the home of the third child and went straight to Xian Yue’s house.

As soon as she entered, she saw a plumper, ruddier-faced Xian Yue.

Susu joked, "Our Xian Yue did well during confinement, Grandpa Sun and Granny Sun must not have spared any effort."
